Yes. Starting in the 800-900's the Muslims (under what would be called the Arabian Caliphates) started attacking the Christian Eastern Roman Empire (a.k.a. the Byzantine Empire) as well as invading and conquering North Africa and Spain and pushing eastward into what is now India, Pakistan, Afghanistan and even reaching parts of China.
The Ottomans later continued this with attacks and invasions into Southern Europe when they became a political entity in the 1300s

In 1378 the new political power of Islam, the Ottoman empire, went to fresh war against Bulgaria and Serbia. The strategic forts of Sofia and Nis" were conquered after fierce battles in 1388 and 1385 respectively. The Ottoman empire wedged deeply between Bulgarians and Serbs. The impending frightful danger forced Serbia, Bulgaria, Bosnia and some other Bulgarian and Serbian break-away feudal possessions to enter, at long last, into a military and political alliance in 1387.

historic previous has shown that Islam grew to become into unfold by making use of the sword. that is humorous that fundamentalist Islamists (like Osama bin encumbered and Ayman Zawahiri) rail with reference to the Crusades and Crusaders on an identical time as conveniently ignoring their own previous historic previous. The Crusades have been quite often a backlash against Moslem conquests and compelled conversion by making use of the sword. regrettably the Crusaders did the comparable ingredient, yet it incredibly is each and all the Muslims look to remember.

Absolutely. In the VII and VIII centuries, the islams conquered all North Africa, Spain and invaded France. Charles Martell stopped them in Poitiers, 732. The Spaniards were fighting against them for 7 centuries. Each time they were in the brink of throwing them out of Spain, a new wave of islams came from Africa, and they had to begin all over again

Muslims (and Islam) say Jesus was a prophet but they reject all His teachings ...
They reject Christ's divinity;
they reject his claim to be the Son of God;
they reject his death on the cross...
they reject His ressurrection..
They reject Jesus is the Christ/ Messiah...
Need I say more...?
Don't be deceived. The Islamic god is totally different than the God of Jesus Christ .
"Who is a liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is anti-Christ, that denies the Father and the Son. He that denies the Son, the same has not the Father." (I John 2:22)

Are you that "not knowing!????"
They killed people from Medina, through Iran, the Middle-East, into Spain, to gain "converts." Then, they tried to go through Germany, and the Saxons beat them into the ground, all the way back to the Middle-East!!
